Dailymail:

  • Iranian state TV censored their live broadcast of Tottenham vs Manchester Utd
  • The broadcast was censored 'over 100 times' because of a female referee, according to civil rights group
  • Live footage of the game was apparently cut because Sian Massey-Ellis was wearing shorts
  • The decision to cut away so often was so viewers would not see Ellis' bare legs, it is claimed
  • In Iran, the hijab is compulsory for women while the country's authorities do not allow women with hair uncovered or bare knees to be shown on state-run TV
